Shearwater Charters
Shearwater Charters is a family-friendly team that offers exciting fishing trips out of Biloxi, Mississippi. Captain Brandon Morano, the owner and operator, is an experienced and passionate angler. His philosophy is: 'Its not work if you love what you do.'
Hop aboard the 'Shearwater,' a 37' Custom built sport fisherman, perfect for up to 6 anglers. The Shearwater comes powered by a 320 HP Caterpillar engine and is fully fitted with top-notch navigational electronics, as well as many other professional facilities.
She has all the comforts of home, with two sets of bunks, a salon, and a restroom. On board, you'll also find a fighting chair for those who are up for a challenge and a flybridge to aid your search for the fish.
Stay close to the shore and have your hands full of Speckled Trout, Tarpon, Mangrove Snapper, King Mackerel, Redfish, Jack Crevalle, and many other species. Or head out to catch Red Snapper (in June and July), Cobia, Barracuda, and even Sharks!
Light tackle enthusiasts will appreciate the opportunity to test their trolling, bottom fishing, and jigging skills. You'll learn a technique or 2 and come back to the shore with as many 'catches of the day' as possible!
Trips come with rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice. You'll be joined by experienced deckhands, who'll work hard to make your fishing trip one to remember and clean your catch at the end of the trip. Gratuities are very much appreciated for all of their efforts!
Just bring something to eat, drink, and welcome aboard Shearwater Charters!

Jake WittnebertRepeat angler•
Texas, US•Member since 20205 trips5.0VerifiedAwesome Fishing and Comfortable Boat!
10 Hour Trip – Snapper on July 9, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I had a trip planned to Biloxi and decided to do a fishing trip while we were there. We booked Shearwater because of the great reviews and the large red snapper they catch. Capt Brandon did not disappoint! We quickly caught our limit of nice red snapper and finished off the day with some really big redfish. Capt Brandon and First Mate PJ were really nice people and went out of their way to make our day memorable. The boat was very comfortable and had a cold AC in the cabin which made the hot day more enjoyable. Will definitely fish with them again!
Bradley BuchholtzRepeat angler•Wisconsin, US•Member since 20203 trips5.0VerifiedA true fishing experience!
6 Hour Trip - 1:30 PM on April 15, 2026 • 6 adultsWe did a two day trip with them. Always remember this is a fishing trip not a catching trip. The captain and first main went way out of there way to get us fish but it was a bit windy. We caught fish but nothing too big, but the experience was awesome. The 2nd day the winds calmed down, and the fishing was a bit slow but it really picked up and caught a lot of great fish!! So if you want a true fishing experience this is the one for you!! Again thanks guys! If we wouldn’t have caught fish we knew we were on the right boat to make our chances the best we could expect!!
Kevin Roberts•Illinois, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewAwesome fishing trip!
4 1/2 Hour Trip on September 4, 2026 • 5 adultsThe trip was absolutely awesome! The captain and his deckhand went over and above on everything. It rained on us a good part of the time, and they continued to try to put us where the fish were. All 5 of us in our group caught fish, 2 of those being sharks! Would definitely book them again, and will be referring others to them.
Carol Mcgovern•Louisiana, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAn awesome experience.
4 1/2 Hour Trip on July 11, 2026 • 6 adultsThe trip exceeded my expectations. The Captain and mate, Paul, rescued an Osprey in distress in the water! Lagniappe. It wa a fun day with family. None of us being experienced anglers needed a lot of help and all had questions. Paul was patient. helpful,and a good sport with the comedians in our group. Only wish I thought to mention that one of us is a leftie. I doubt it would have made a difference, anyway. Thank you to Captain Brandon and Mate, again.
Elton Tibbs•Georgia, USMember since 20245.0VerifiedNewHad an amazing time, the best trip ever!
6 Hour Trip - 1:30 PM on August 10, 2026 • 3 adultsMy buddies and I came down from Atlanta to do a fishing charter with Shearwater Charters. It was an experience of a lifetime and it was nothing short of amazing! Captain Brandon and his deckhand was awesome. They kept us on top of the fish and made sure all the equipment was setup for us to succeed in catching plenty of fish! I would highly recommend Shearwater Charters if you are planning a fishing charter in the Biloxi area!

8 Hour Trip – Snapper on July 4, 2026 • 5 adultsThese guys work their tail off for you. We had a group of 5 and limited out on red snapper. Also caught a couple of sharks that were around 3.5 feet in length. Boat was clean with A/C and a toilet. Fishing gear was in good shape. Highly recommend this group!

8 Hour Trip – Snapper on August 2, 2026 • 6 adultsI appreciate all the hard work the captain and deck hand did to get us on the water to fish. we had to delay the trip for awhile because of the weather. when we did get out, it was worth the wait. They put us on some great fish.
Jan Shanafelt•Missouri, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat trip!
4 1/2 Hour Trip on July 7, 2026 • 5 adultsGreat way to spend my son's 15th birthday. We had 5 people take the trip and all caught multiple fish. Paul worked extremely hard to make sure we all had a great experience and he answered a lot of questions. Would love to take this trip again!
